I should add:
In theory, R could emulate the behavior of a compiled programming language.
(In which case, R could read input from the user, or use debugging
tools, when told to).
However, I can't see R-core supporting this approach in the foreseeable future.

More charitably, I think that the thinking may have been that since x[[i]]
gives you one element of x,
they should use x[[i]]<-value, for scalar i, to stick in one element.

Here's what I would expect:
In interactive mode, input is taken from the user (i.e. command line).
In non-interactive mode, input is taken from a text file (or equivalent).
What you're trying to do is run R in *non*-interactive mode, and call
the browser function.
This requires input to come from
